I miss you guys.
Wow. I live in another country.
I have to say, I'm overwhelmed part of the time. It doesn't help I have a stinkin' cold that combined with jetlag makes me pretty dead to the world, but I'm trying to push through it and keep my eyes open to all that is around me.
I had to go grocery shopping today for food for our apartment - it was probably close to a Target except in Turkish and with no pasta sauce. Also, the Turks don't refrigerate their milk. You can, but they don't. I will.
I haven't heard any drums at 2am yet (they don't in this neighborhood, which we're staying in temporarily) but I have heard the call of the muzzein at different parts of the day. We don't seem to live too close to a mosque so it's not loud.
Speaking of our apartment, we have two separate balconies on it. One is right outside the kitchen and is smaller. There is an outdoor chimney/grill thing. The other balcony wraps around the side of the building and has a decent view of Ankara. I'll update with pictures once we settle more into the apartment. |
